The Oristand, made of industrial cardboard, sits on top of a traditional desk and folds flat when it's not being used for storage.

It's cheap, too, retailing for $25 when other stand-up desks are usually priced at around $200.

"We wanted to create a product that would solve this problem for both companies and employees.”
